Reason, Observation, and Experience --
the Holy Trinity of Science.
?Robert G. Ingersoll
You can observe a lot just by watching.
?Yogi Berra
The observation of nature is part of
an artist's life, it enlarges his form
[and] knowledge, keeps him fresh
and from working only by formula,
and feeds inspiration.
?Henry Moore
One who is too wise an observer of the
business of others, like one who is too
curious in observing the labor of bees,
will often be stung for his curiosity.
?Alexander Pope
A few observations and much reasoning
lead to error; many observations
and a little reasoning lead to truth.
?Alexis Carrel
To him that watches, everything is revealed.
?Italian Proverb
Nothing has such power to broaden the
mind as the ability to investigate
systematically and truly all that comes
under thy observation in life.
?Marcus Aurelius
